Sinai Weekly issue 64
Dear Editor
Please allow me to comment on a letter in your 'to the editor' section of the last issue. I would appreciate if it can be printed so Mia can 'take action'.
Dear Mia,
In reply to your observations about areas of Hadaba being rubbish dumps and 'like a war zone' - of course other people have noticed, you are obviously not very in touch with others in the community.
The second clean up which 'they' organized was in Hadaba where, in fact, we cleaned the area aroud 24/7. Where were you? No doubt sitting at your computer writing moaning letters. Why don't you join us for the next Clean Up on 10th October, which, funnily enough, will be in Hadaba. Check out the CleanSharm website, we can help you to send comments to the City Council - info@cleansharm.org - But come on Mia don't just sit there complaining - get active - one hand clapping makes no noise! See you on the 10th.
Regards

Dear Active member of Clean Sharm,
Thank you so much or your e-mail, and here you go we published your email to Mia, as we are thankful for you to use Sinai Weekly as a method of communication within the community, and of course to thank you for the great job Clean Sharm is doing. Keep it up!
It is very important what you touched upon in your email, because in order for things to happen, only the community can make it happen – especially in a place as small as Sharm. If we don’t do it, then who will? No one wants as much good for this place as we the residents. And it is much easier for the people to complain rather than take action – but at least it’s a start – everything comes in stages. So, thanks again for highlighting that.
Have a lovely rest of day,
The Editor

Do Women Really Believe the Earth is Flat? If they Venture Forth Will they Fall off the Edge?
I do not walk in front of my man to test the ground for landmines.
(E.Moon)
The ‘F’ word has no place in my vocabulary.
Instead I have a belief in ‘EOG’
Feminism is an outdated adjective.
EOG sounds more like a substance to save the planet doesn’t it? However it is my own personal belief in ‘Equality of Genders.’ There now I have said it.
Feminism has been around since the 18th century. In 1792 May Wollstonecraft published her Vindication on the Rights of Woman, an important work advocating the rights of women.
Mary’s attitude stems from being born the daughter of a brutish, tyrannical father who bullied his wife into an exhausted state of servitude.
My answer to the male gender that retains the belief they can chain a woman’s mind and body is simply, “get a grip.” No one can own or chain a mind, you cannot steal another human being’s thoughts and you cannot strangle a soul.
An Expert's Guide To Bargain Shopping In Cairo
By Soraya Morayef
Anyone who claims that they can’t find bargain shopping in Cairo is delusional. First of all, we Egyptians love a good bargain; we may not have created the concept of sales and discounts, but we very well could have. Just take a look at any discount store around the world (Primark, Dollar Store, Forever 21), and you may find several of us arguing loudly over the Sale of the Day rack.
